Arcane Lord

The visual interface designed by Niya is mainly divided into two parts, including the navigation bar below and the main display area above. The navigation bar is divided into multiple tabs—

Contacts, groups, inquiries, and an additional tag to be developed.

It covers the main content of this update, and all emoticons have both text and graphic prompts. For first-time users, you may need to know the text before you can use it quantitatively, but as more people use it later, it will naturally become easier. You will know how to use it.

Xia Duo first clicked on the address book tab, and the main display area immediately displayed the twin marks stored in Xia Duo's communication device.

In fact, the first time you use this function, the twin marks (encrypted contact list, essentially a spell) stored in the communication device will be uploaded to Mysuo for online storage by default.

If you later change the communication instrument, you need to purchase a new communication instrument first, and then transfer the permissions on the old instrument to the new one, which is essentially a transfer of different node permissions.

If the old magic weapon is lost or destroyed, there is no way. The previously saved contact list cannot be restored, at least at the user level, and this part of the data will be updated when the mystery lock is updated. All gone.

After all, the communication instrument itself as the mysterious lock node disappeared, which is actually equivalent to the cancellation of the account.

Although in theory a communication device can be used for a long time, and it will not affect the use of the new functions of the Mystery Lock before it breaks down, Xia Duo will definitely not do this. Although he will not consider any plans to scrap it, he will try his best to make it The simplest way for users to buy new models is to restrict the use of new features, which is not difficult to do.

…

The first contact in Xia Duo's address book is Niya. In fact, he has several communication tools, which are similar to the public and private accounts of social software on earth.

Most of the people in his current address book are members of the Tower of Time. In addition to Niya, there are also Eberk, Saville, the five-person committee of the Society, the heads of the Academic Affairs Office, the Personnel Office, the Magic Mechanic Office, the Material Management Office and other departments. , as well as the four secretaries recently appointed.

Sha Duo asked Niya to take out the communication tool, and then he clicked on the twin mark that he and Niya completed together in his address book. The next moment, a prompt came from Niya.

"Niya, pick it up."

"Um."

After Niya connected, Xia Duo said something casually, and the two people's communication instruments immediately echoed, because the distance between the two was too close, and the most important thing is, it turned out to be real-time communication!

Therefore, Xia Duo immediately sighed, "Oh, I ignored it during the previous test. It doesn't feel good to choose real-time communication."

Although he had tested it many times before, it was more about testing whether the function could be implemented and the specific use experience, because he could save time if he was in a hurry, let alone a two-person experiment.

However, Niya has a different view, "Isn't the purpose of people's communication to let the target of the communication know what information they want to convey as soon as possible? Real-time communication should be more in line with this need!"

"Maybe!" Xia Duo did not refute.

After all, he can't completely use the experience on earth to predict the usage of users here. Moreover, user habits can also be cultivated. Maybe after setting it up like this, users will prefer this method in the future!

And it doesn’t mean that with real-time communication, there will be no more “text messages” in the past. You can still send messages directly, whether it is voice, text, or video, there will be no problem, just like before the update.

Of course, this does not mean that this update has added a real-time communication function. This function was also available in the past, but it was not integrated into the Mystery Lock. When real-time communication is required, the user needs to cast a spell on his own. Now this is for some people who have not mastered real-time communication. For spell casters, it is more convenient.

…

Then there is the group function. For this reason, Niya has also specially developed a team spell. The reason is of course because it is more convenient to save spells in the secret lock than to save general information.

When using it specifically, you only need to click on the group tab and then create a group. The user only needs to provide a spell element similar to the naming process, and then the puzzle will automatically name "Group One", and then there can be "Group One" two".

Custom group names are not supported yet.

After creating a group, you can pull people from your address book. You can only pull contacts from your own address book, but you are not limited to the group creator. That is to say, as long as you have the connections of the people you pull, It is wide enough and even all users can be brought in, but this is obviously impossible.

Considering this situation, Niya followed Shado's suggestion and limited the number of group members to 200. At the same time, the number of groups that an individual user can create is also limited to a maximum of 5.

If it is not enough, you can consider purchasing more communication instruments, or purchasing value-added services that are not yet open, which is what the saying goes, "add money."

However, with the complex social hierarchy and huge population of Shado's hometown, upper limits of 200 and 5 are enough. Netheril is probably far from reaching this level at the moment.

In fact, the current maximum number of users that the Communication Mystery Lock can support is only 140,000 (420,000, but the Tower of Time can only release a maximum of 140,000 to ensure control). If you want more, you can only wait for the Mystery Lock to be updated again in the future. , and it must also be a major update focused on increasing the number of nodes.

As for the group, Sha Duo also briefly tried it and created a group with only him and Niya. Currently, the group only supports real-time communication, including voice or video.

It can be opened when at least two people respond. Other people in the group will be notified and can choose whether to join, which is somewhat similar to a chat room on Earth.

…

The online address book and group functions are considered regular functions and are an expansion of the basic functions of the communication device before the update, but "information" is a completely new function.

Similar to the bulletin board, UU Reading www.uukanshu. com, but currently only the Tower of Time can unilaterally publish new content. In the future, it may be made into a forum-like form, allowing users to publish new content on their own.

Mainly because this aspect of the function is relatively complicated to implement, Niya is currently unable to develop it independently and can only look forward to the next update.

Now, on this bulletin board, Shado is not going to let the Tower of Time have an exclusive monopoly, but will open it to the Seven Towers, or to the Seventon Council.

In this way, some authoritative information can be released, such as relevant content of previous parliamentary meetings and plenary meetings, and some policy interpretations, including those of the Northland Alliance.

This may seem like sacrificing the Tower of Time's monopoly on information release, but it actually increases the authority of the bulletin board itself, making the information released by the Tower of Time, and even the Tower of Time itself, more authoritative.

This is of course the benefit of being a platform. As long as it can be done, it will definitely be a huge profit. Therefore, whether in the early stage or later stage, Xia Duo will not sacrifice the fairness and authority of the platform for the sake of making money.
